Android Studio “Unable to save plugin settings”

Question

When I opened android studio today, it showed me the following errors:

Answer 1

This can happen if a module is not added correctly.

Instead of adding the module folder, adding the build.gradle results in a broken project and issues with the Android Support plugins.

To check if this is the issue, try creating a new Android project. If the new project can be open fine (may require enabling the plugins and restarting Android Studio), then it is a project issue.

If this is the case, delete the incorrect module from the project, and if required re-enable the plugins and restart Android Studio.

Answer 2

You can try this:

Rename the folder where the project is in Open the project in Android Studio (now you'll have to browse for it) Wait until it's synced and close the project Rename the folder back to original That solved it for me. Just deleting the idea folder and invalidating caches did not solve the problem.
